Digital Citizenship 20

Technical Support at School • Orientation provided for each Student by Class From Week 3 in 2020 • Connecting Device to Wireless • Assistance with the installation of DoE negotiated Software 21

TSO Levy • As there is no funding to support a Technical Support Officer (TSO) in schools anymore like most schools it has been necessary to levy parents. • $30 will be charged per year per student to help fund this essential role in school. This will pay for 35% of employing a TSO, with the school funding the balance. • TSO will be available in 2020 for five days per week to provide support to students. 22

Computer Access Levy • An annual computer access levy of $30 per student per year will continue to be charged. • This levy covers: – Access to printing both black and colour – Access to desktop computers in Computer Laboratories and the School Library to use specialist software – Provide and update infrastructure - new servers, new wi-fi access points 23

What we learnt since 2019 • BYOD can only work with a Fulltime TSO • Some parents buy a laptop that is too large for the student • Students forget their passwords and usernames • Value of license Adobe CC - $871/Year. MS Office is $199 one off payment. 24

What we learnt in 2019 - continued • Students install games on their laptop that prevents the laptop from connecting to our WiFi • Students download illegal material on laptop • Students don’t care adequately for their laptops and the laptops get damaged – repairs are not the responsibility of the TSO • Students forget their passwords necessitating change and alterations to network settings • Primary School Passwords – reset when students come to High School (more strict security rules for passwords – password strength) 25
